The AskCar estimate is our expected asking price for this car. It uses UK dealer asking prices, accounting for make, model, trim, version, age, mileage, fuel, gearbox, body type, driven wheels, engine size and power. It is an advertised price, not a confirmed sale price.

It draws on 7,180 priced BMW 1 Series adverts across different ages and specifications, as of 4 November 2026.

A 2008 BMW 1 Series with the 2.0 petrol engine is typically advertised at £2,700: the median of the 18 for sale on AskCar, as of 4 November 2026.

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 4 November 2026: valid until 28 May 2027.

It failed its MOT on 6 May 2026 (engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction) and passed 23 days later, on 29 May 2026.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside rear brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material; offside rear brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material; front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened; and 4 more.
